Pretty good job (if I may say so myself!)
Professional Painting Service

Consulting
I always focus on the customers and their requirements. For this project in Shepton Mallet the client wanted to keep a rustic feel.
To that end I only filled the worst of the imperfections in the woodwork.

Prep
Over 200m of masking tape used - see Project Portfolio for more pics of this job and other examples of my services.

Tidy finish
The garden furniture below was caught just in time. Treated and filled where neccesary. Scrubbed & sanded - as ever with paintwork 'it's all about the prep' !! Primed and then coated with top quality exterior paint this patio set should be sound for years to come.

Quality
Everything I do centers on providing services of the highest level of quality. We won’t stop until you’re 100% satisfied – that’s a guarantee.

Efficiency
I have years of experience in providing efficient procedures and solutions, but also continually strive for improvement in order to deliver results more effectively. Every day can be a schoolday.

Fair Prices
Satisfying customers is my top priority. Fair and transparent prices with no hidden fees or extra charges.

Professional Project Management
Managing projects from concept to completion with expert oversight and coordination.
For this plant nursery site (part-way to completion) I hired diggers to level and dig trenches. Tonnes of gravel, french drains.
I installed over 500m of pipe and kilometres of wiring, solenoids & rain sensors, taps, valves and sprinklers all connected to a central, fully-customisable 'brain'.
The end result being three 70m-long, raised, weed-free areas for the cultivation and transplanting of potted shrubs etc All being carefully irrigated - saving ££ by reducing water-wastage and time spent hand watering.
Expert Installations
Audio, security, and irrigation systems installed with precision and care.

Creative Solutions
Tailored solutions for all your handyman needs, big or small.
This raised vegetable bed on a slope was made from 2nd-hand scaffolding boards.
The turf cut from the bed area and the flagstone path was flipped and returned to the bed. This provided a nutrient rich compostable base and substantially reduced the amount of topsoil etc needed to be bought in.
